Chapter 475 Chapter 468. Storm

The answer is - no!

The fact is so cruel, even though both Tanjiro and others and the pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad have experienced "inhumane" training.

But what made them feel extremely ashamed...even in the end, they were unable to make a move against that gentleman.

After all, even a casual move by that gentleman would be enough to make any one of them lose the ability to fight on the spot.

The one in front of me had done it before, and although he had to rely on the ghost's special physique to do it, it was enough to judge that the strength of this ghost was superior to any of them.

But how much stronger is it? No one knows.

The outcome of the battle will only be known after the battle has been fought.

Everyone held their breath and watched Hei Shimo's every move, ready to enter the battle at any time.

This is the Shangxian One. It is completely different from the other Shangxian ghosts. Just standing there, it looks as stable as Mount Tai and not angry.

Everyone is very vigilant, but they have no reason to retreat, because no matter how you look at this battle, it is the Demon Slayer side that has the advantage.

"Um?"

Just when everyone was on alert, Hei Shimo seemed to have discovered something interesting among them.

"May I have your name?"

He looked at Muichiro Tokitou, the youngest among the people.

"Tokitou...Muichiro."

The strange thing is that Muichiro Tokitou actually answered Heishimou's question honestly.

The young man looked like he was struggling, but some kind of force forced him to answer.

"I see. Has the name 'Jiguo' been lost?"

There was a hint of regret in Hei Shimo's tone, and he raised his head and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"There's no way... After all, hundreds of years have passed..."

"..."

Everyone fell into silence.

The name 'Successor' is a name respected by all the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. It is indeed a pity that such a name is lost, but does Heishimou, who has betrayed humanity long ago, really have the right to feel sorry for it?

"Stop insulting that name, asshole."

Muichiro Tokitoru's face showed a rare expression of anger.

Although his surname was not Jiguo, and he had no special feelings for the name, he felt angry when he saw the behavior of the ghost in front of him.

"It seems... you seem to know my identity?"

Hei Shimo asked calmly.

"of course I know."

"That's right, after all, that man is also still alive."

Hei Shimo nodded slightly.

Although I don't know how the human named 'Xuan Hao' survived to this day with a human body, but since this human being still exists, it is not surprising that the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad know that period of history.

"Jikuni Iwakatsu, that was my name when I was a human. It's really a long-lost name..."

Hei Shimo looked at the humans in front of him and sighed.

Hundreds of years have already changed everything. He could see that the young man in front of him named 'Tokidou Muichiro' had the blood of the Tsukoku lineage flowing in his body, but the name 'Jikoku' had finally become a thing of the past.

"Yuanyi..."

He lamented the ruthlessness of time. At this moment, he became very powerful, so powerful that he overcame all the weaknesses of being a ghost except the sun. How strong is he? He has not tried it, but if he really fights based on his strength,

He was confident that even Wu Pai would not be his opponent.

But so what? He can't go back to the past, and he can never defeat Yuanyi again, but...

"If I defeat a stronger person, does it prove that I have won?"

Hei Shimo's gaze became dangerous.

He was ready to clean out everyone here and then challenge the seemingly invincible existence again.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire space changed, and murderous intent suddenly enveloped everyone.

"bass--"

The severely corroded and deformed saber was slowly pulled out by Hei Shimo, and the sharp and harsh sound made everyone's hearts tremble.

"coming!"

Everyone was holding on to their already unsheathed Nichirin swords, with nervous expressions on their faces.

The ghost in front of them was probably the strongest ghost they had ever encountered, and this ghost had probably overcome the weakness of its neck.

This will be an endless war of attrition, and Infinite City is gradually collapsing, leaving them little time.

"what can we do about it?"

This is the same question in everyone's mind.

If you want to evacuate, someone must stay and hold Hei Shimo back, and this means sacrifice.

"Damn it, it's obviously the last moment, why are you still blocking the way!"

Although sacrifice is no longer uncommon for the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, the situation at this moment always makes them feel unwilling. Victory is clearly in front of them.

"You... look anxious."

Pulling out the knife, Heishimou spoke calmly.

"Actually, there is no need...because you will all die here."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot.

"spread!!!"

Just when others were surprised by Hei Sheimou's speed, Wei Mingyu Xingming commanded loudly.

He has long been blind, so there is no need to use sight to judge the opponent's actions. In the face of such high speeds that are far beyond the range of human vision, sound is sometimes more useful.

From the very beginning, he concentrated all his energy on guarding against Black Death Mou's attack.

“Good judgment.”

The figure of Hei Shimo appeared in front of Xingming on Beiming Island at some unknown time.

He expressed his expressionless admiration for Ming Yu Xingming's judgment, and letting everyone disperse would indeed avoid the risk of being defeated by him in one fell swoop.

but……

"Can you block my attack?"

The ferocious long sword covered with eyeballs and flesh was swung down fiercely. With the powerful force, just the momentum of the sword swing was enough to make ordinary swordsmen give up their struggle.

But faced with such a sword force, Mingyu Xingming did not waver in the slightest.

The muscles of his arm holding the hammer were bulging, and his face was ferocious.

"Don't underestimate humans, evil ghosts! The era when humans were ravaged by evil ghosts has long passed. Now it's you who should tremble!"

"Buzz——"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in everyone's ears, and the fluctuations spread out from the bodies of Mingyu Xingming and Hei Sheimou, kicking up countless dust.

"I see."

Black Death Mo looked at the sturdy human in front of him in deep thought.

The human easily resisted his attack with his weapon. Although he did not use all his strength, the man in front of him also refused to retreat.

Gradually, this human body became transparent under Hei Shimo's gaze.

"It's really amazing, a perfect body that has been tempered many times and even surpasses the limits of human beings..."

By the way, he looked at the other humans around him with his peripheral vision. The same was true. Although there were still some differences between these humans, they had all experienced the same hard work.

Everyone is very powerful, with unyielding momentum and terrifying physique. Except for Yuanyi and Xuanhao, we have never seen them hundreds of years ago. I didn't expect that so many of them would suddenly appear tonight.

"Is this... your confidence?"

Hei Shimo's tone finally became serious, "It seems that if you don't respond with all your strength... it would be too rude..."

Breath of the Moon·Shape of One·Dark Moon·Palace of Night.

At some point, the blade in Hei Shimo's hand had returned to its scabbard.

And almost at the same time, countless lunar arc-like sharp sword lights slashed out from his body in all directions, covering almost everyone here.

"defense!"

Xingming, the nearest Bei Ming Yu, shouted.
